[QUOTE=CheeseMan;23960491]What is with the influx of STUPID people recently [editline]12:16AM[/editline] No female genital mutilation (The actual term for it) is a serious problem in remote muslim areas, it's a procedure that leaves women generally unable to feel sensation during sex and the more extreme versions sew up everything except the part needed to urinate and menstruate from.[/QUOTE] I know it's like the retards are coming out of the fucking woodwork.
[QUOTE=Melnek;23960560]You underestimate the power of words. Sometimes and insult can hurt you just as much as a punch to the face. Only your face will heal, and the insults stay.[/QUOTE] Words are sounds, if you empower them to be able to hurt you then they will be used against you. People don't realise this.
[QUOTE=Phoenix Ashes;23960486]he was like "eww what the fuck" towards female circumcision, probably because of the queasy tendency of people when faced with a rather sharp object to undergo and alteration procedure on some very sensitive genitals, when 75% of american guys underwent the same procedure and not a second thought is given about it. statistic pulled out of my tail.[/QUOTE] No I think it's more the fact that without anaesthesia and against their will these women have their clit and lips hacked off and then sewn fucking shut. To equate that to happening to a guy, Imagine some getting surgical scissors and cutting the head of your dick off.

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;23960622]Words are sounds, if you empower them to be able to hurt you then they will be used against you. People don't realise this.[/QUOTE] Because they don't even think about it. It's the kind of thing that happens when you are still young and cannot think rationally for yourself, and you simply grow into it. Say you're overweight and someone calls you a fat fuck from time to time, either you take it personally or you truly do not give a shit. It's not that black and white and you make it to be.
ITT: white suburban kids agree that the n word is NOT offensive

[QUOTE=JDK721;23960691]ITT: white suburban kids agree that the n word is NOT offensive[/QUOTE] Well it's not, besides the amount of black people that throw the word around proves it's not offensive. The only people that do find it offensive are the do-gooders or as you Americans call them "Soccer moms"
If id get a penny every time a black skin coloured person has called me racist name(s) id be a millionaire by now.
A black kid at school called me his nigger all the time, it was quite confusing since im white
[QUOTE=JDK721;23960691]ITT: white suburban kids agree that the n word is NOT offensive[/QUOTE] I do believe it is offensive to some people, and I understand why.
[QUOTE=Jimmyshimmy;23960784]A black kid at school called me his nigger all the time, it was quite confusing since im white[/QUOTE] Should've called him a honky.

Australia judges whether or not something is offensive? Are they retarded?
[QUOTE=imaguy;23960811]Why are the who experts on female circumcision?[/QUOTE] World Health Organisation. The WHO, not The Who.
Well no word is technically offensive, it's just the conditioning some people have to that word, and the context of the word, although I do agree nigger and sandnigger are pretty much always used as an offensive term. Still the article makes it out as if they are trying to ban a word, that's fucking stupid, that's like trying to band someone from saying cunt.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;23960820]Australia judges whether or not something is offensive? Are they retarded?[/QUOTE] "Everything we say is right is right. Everything we say is wrong is wrong. Ban violent video games and let kids say 'nigger' as much as they want to anyone they want."
Ironically, I'd take a different stance. Initially, i'd deem [i]Sandnigger[/i] offensive, and [i]nigger[/i] not. [i]Nigger[/i] has been castrated of it's offensive capacity by it's constant use in mainstream media. Whereas [i]sandnigger[/i] is almost always used in malice implicitly racial in nature. But if we acknowledge that [i]Nigger[/i] has been rendered impotent, that by it's merit destroys [i]Sandnigger[/i], as it implies that the subject is a [i]nigger[/i] that is based in sand. Sand is not offensive. It's sand. Therefore the only source of offence is the presence of [i]nigger[/i] within the word. Therefore it loses the foundations of it's offence.
"Nigger" and "sandnigger" aren't offensive to a reasonable person, but people who use those terms offensively aren't reasonable.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;23960266]Due to the way precedents work, it's now law in Qld that the N word and Sand-n word is not offensive. And glad to see it's that way. After all, we still got Coon cheese in Australia (and it's even run by an American company). [editline]11:03PM[/editline] What the fuck does the n-word have to do with circumcision?[/QUOTE] Probably that nigger is simply a word where as circumcision is a procedure and does more damage than a word would.
[QUOTE=JDK721;23960691]ITT: white suburban kids agree that the n word is NOT offensive[/QUOTE] It's not the word that's offensive, it's the context. If it's used in a hateful way then yeah, it's bad. But it's not because of the word, it's because what was said was hateful and offensive in general. The word itself is seen "offensive" today because it's the "politically correct" thing to do, and we refuse to let it become a more accepted word. Really, it's just a fucking word, and its real meaning is not offensive in any way whatsoever. Our past has distorted the true meaning of the word simply for its use, and we refuse to get past that. [quote]The word originated as a term used in a neutral context to refer to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, meaning the color "black".[1][2][3][4][/quote]
[QUOTE=LeonS;23960062]To be fair, it's been more than a hundred years that whole ordeal went on, besides, it's just a word. I mean, I don't use it infront of black people or arabs but those are just simple words. Whitey is offensive too, kinda.[/QUOTE] It's been around 50 years.

I would've been offended if someone called me kike, most probably - but I can't see how someone can be put in prison for saying that. It is offensive as calling someone "son of a bitch" is, and you don't see people go to prison over that kind of slurs.
[QUOTE=imadaman;23960398] What's so bad abo- ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :gonk:[/QUOTE] Why did you just call him an abo? That's racist! [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3169/2482057070_a25a7f7d13.jpg?v=0[/IMG]
Australia doesn't really have the same history with black people (non-aboriginals) so it doesn't really carry the same weight as it does in the US. That said, I still cringe whenever I hear my dad refer to black people as niggers.
YES! I'm sick and tiered of black people saying "nigga" every other word and then when a white guy says it they shit bricks.

i get called cracker by these black kids down the street all the time. I just say "Hey fuck you ya racist fucks!" then they say that black people cant be racist because they are black :downs:
